The Dark Tower Series

By Stephen King, the Dark Tower series.

Who has read it? And what do y'all make of it? In my opinion, the pinnacle of adventure fantasy.

The best part? It makes you THINK.

I've read them, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember them very well. Could you give me a refresher?

FINALLY! Someone who has read them!!!

I think of these books as the pinnacle of all fantasy adventure books. Stephen King is a literary GENIUS.

Anyway. Refresher:

The series starts out with the famous Dark Tower opening line:"The back in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

The series is about the last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, the last of the line of Eld, living in a world worn thin with time. A world that eerily parallels our own, straight from the old westerns. His mission in life, the one thing that drives him on, is to find the Dark Tower. He doesn't know why or how he's going to get there, all he knows is that it is his destiny, his Ka.

Throughout the series, you follow him as he meets his ka-tet, opens other worlds, reveals the tragic past, and toys with the paradoxes of time and space, all for the sake of the Dark Tower, the hub and central force that holds together all the universes.

So, what'd you think of my vague synopsis? XD That, of course, doesn't nearly do the series justice for its greatness, but hey. i say read them again. it'll be worth it to rediscover it all again.

I myself recently finished reading The Dark Tower the last book in the series. i started to reread the series again shortly after. i just recently finished The Drawing of the Three.

That doesn't sound familiar, maybe I'm thinking of something else. I'll be sure to add them to my list though. What's the first one called?

The first one is called The Gunslinger. i think that, next to the 4th book, Wizard and Glass, and the 5th book, Wolves of the Calla, is my favorite.


The books go in order like this.

-The Gunslinger
-The Drawing of the Three
-The Wastelands
-Wizard and Glass
-Wolves of the Calla
-Song of Susannah
-The Dark Tower

ohhh, can i just not tell my parents? they look great.
what is i that you like about them?

Everything.

My favorite character is Roland. By a long shot. He's just awesome. I don't know what else to say.
